>Number: 21899 >Category: bin >Synopsis: mailwrapper does not wrap /bin/rmail >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: low >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Quarter: >Keywords: >Date-Required: >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Tue Oct 10 17:30:02 PDT 2000 >Closed-Date: >Last-Modified: >Originator: Wolfgang Zenker >Release: FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE i386 >Organization: private site >Environment: FreeBSD 4.* after switching to different MTA after previous use of sendmail >Description: When you switch from sendmail to a different mailer by configuring this different mailer in /etc/mail/mailer.conf, sendmails old /bin/rmail still stays around and is not redirected via mailwrapper. At least in the case of the new mailer being smail (installed from ports), /bin/rmail no longer works. I did not check the details, maybe it calls sendmail with options not supported by smail. The mailwrapper(8) man-page gives no caveat about /bin/rmail. >How-To-Repeat: Install smail from ports; do NOT "make replace" (this tries to overwrite sendmail instead of using mailwrapper) and configure /etc/mail/mailer.conf to use smail. >Fix: Delete /bin/rmail and tell uucp to use /usr/local/bin/rmail. Add a warning about /bin/rmail to BUGS-Section of mailwrapper -manpage. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
